Here's what This American Life is not: it's not a news show or a talk show or a call-
in show. It's not formatted like other radio shows. Each episode has a theme, and
there are a variety of productions on that theme. There are people in dramatic
situations. Things happen to them. There are funny moments and emotional
moments and— hopefully— moments where the people in the story say interesting,
surprising things about it all. It has to be surprising. It has to be fun. (Adapted from
the official This American Life about page.)

Notes

This American Life was a production of WBEZ Chicago and Public Radio
International. All clips in this episode are the property of those parties. The
percentage of the original show in this episode is approximately 14% (3hr
38m/25hr 0m). This episode has been mastered at 56kbp/s, below the original
audio quality of the shows available to us. Compression is used to reduce file sizes.
The difference in audio quality is negligible if not unrecognizable. Timestamp notes
are available here. The cover image is by gabihmoreira.

Ira Glass

Ira Glass started working in public radio in 1978, when he was 19, as an intern at
NPR's headquarters in DC. Over the next 17 years, he worked on nearly every NPR
news show and did nearly every production job they had: tape-cutter, desk
assistant, newscast writer, editor, producer, reporter, and substitute host. Fie spent
a year in a high school for NPR, and a year in an elementary school, filing stories
for All Things Considered. Fie moved to Chicago in 1 989 and put This American Life
on the air in 1995. (Biography from This American Life's about page.)
